Post-Industrial experimental music from the Czech Republic, but not the same old thing. Vladimír Hirsch has the sensibility of a film soundtrack composer, separating him from the kids who turn on a vacuum, record it, and call garbage like that ‘art’.

[Music] Samuli Kemppi – RYC Podcast 127 (19.06.2015)
A novel idea! I never thought to look for podcasts via Youtube, but it makes perfect sense.
Samuli Kemppi is a Finnish techno artists unafraid to experiment with electronic music under his own name rather than under a heap of aliases. He’s also a DJ for Basso Radio, and this podcast gives a good demonstration of the sort of electronica he spins on air.

Many thanks to Post Global Recordings producer Toni Dimitrov, an old friend and incredible musician in his own right, for today’s post. This collaboration between Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm is as peaceful and engaging a piece I’ve heard in some time.
